The life of a traveling, reading, writing, spining and knitting shepherdess.

Today was a most excellent mail day. Our mail carrier will back in whenever he has a package for one of us. You know that it’s going to be good when he actually gets out of the truck. Getting out of the truck means either multiple packages or a really big one. Today it was two packages. Both were eBay purchases that I was expecting, though not on the same day necessarily. I had been casting about looking for a case for my new lovely supported spindle from Maine Fiber Tools without spending a fortune. I looked all over Waterloo and Cedar Falls last weekend for something that would work and I wasn’t able to find anything. So I hit eBay up and that is where I found this:

If you are saying, “why that looks like a tequila bottle-shaped guitar case!” you would be correct. I was looking for the cardboard tubes that scotches are often sold in and somehow this came up in my feed. It fits my spindle and bowl perfectly.

I’m actually really excited to start hauling this out whenever I am going to be spindling just to see the confused faces of the people around me!

I also got a bunch of these in the mail today. Not as fun but very, very useful.

But there wasn’t just things that I had ordered in the mail for me! There was also this fun cardboard envelope from Finland:

Inside was this:

A letter on the back of a fun postcard and two Sarah sheep stickers for my phone (she made two to make sure that the size was correct).
